Anybody else watch The Nature of Things tonight on CBC? Tonight's documentary was called "Living City: A Critical Guide". Let me cut & paste the description from the website:
Quote:
What's wrong with Canada's cities? What's right? Award-winning urban affairs columnist Christopher Hume takes a cross-country journey to explore the sustainability, viability and liveability of Canada's population centres.
Hume, a provocative urban critic and columnist for the Toronto Star, highlights the projects and passionate people who will shape urban life in Canada in the coming decade. But, travelling by train from Halifax to Vancouver, Hume also gives the viewer a firsthand look at what's wrong Canada's aging infrastructure, failing mass transportation and overall lack of political will.

Very well done. Unfortunately, I missed the first 20 minutes or so, so I missed Halifax. It's going to be re-broadcast next Thursday, Feb. 12 at 10pm eastern (so 11 our time, right?)
